Yes I do tend to hang onto old crockery, clothing, towels etc while new items sit at the back of the cupboard waiting to be used. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can’t say I’ve ever thought of feeling sorry for my crockery

Lol, what about the pretty towels who’re there untouched for years because the old stuff needs to be finished off first

No, I use what I have. I don’t save anything for special occasions as everyday is a special occasion and otherwise they may not get used!

I never thought of it before, but now I am haha. I have many other OCD quirks though.

Haha yes i do feel guilty

Rotating items is also good for staying on top of cleaning.

Nope. I have the ones I use regularly at the front and that’s it. I tend to throw out the ones at the back if they don’t get used for a while.

I do feel like I need to rotate, but more because I feel like the wear and tear will
make them all look different if I don’t…

When we got our new Kitchen I made sure all things in our cupboard were being used as I didn’t like the “good dinner set” being stored away. Now we use it at least once a week……so yeah…….sort of felt bad for it, but also bad that we obviously had way too much stuff. We culled and donated a lot to charity and that felt good.

I do especially when you have invested in them.i have a drawer full of toddler cutlery and few other things.i guess I will just donate them.

We rotate and use everything in the house.

I wouldn’t say I feel sorry for them but I do like rotating things.
